What is the work function of this material? $\left( c = 3.00 \times 10 ^ { 8 } \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } , h = 6.626 \times 10 ^ { - 34 } \mathrm {~J} \cdot \mathrm { s } , 1 \mathrm { eV } \right.$ $= 16.0 \times 10 ^ { - 19 } \mathrm {~J}$ )

• A) \(3.02 \mathrm { eV }\)
• B) \(2.60 \mathrm { eV }\)
• C) \(3.43 \mathrm { eV }\)
• D) \(2.18 \mathrm { eV }\)
